I mean it seems too simple so I must be missing something. You say shortcut, to the app, to a specific email, to a specific email account...? The obvious answer is to press and hold until remove appears at the top of the screen. Then drag the unwanted item to the trash. To add something open your app drawer and press and hold it until your home screen appears then drop it in the location you'd like, or press and hold the screen in an empty location until add appears, and either add an app or widget. What am I missing? More details please.

I merged your threads and moved them to the More Samsung Phones forum (was originally in the Sony Xperia X forum).

Thanks that did the trick, This is my first smart phone and I am still trying to sort things out. I looked in the user manual d/l but could only find >edit >select app with minus sign which the email short cut did not have. hope this explains my lack of knowledge.
